5.6.2 Attributes Tab
The Attributes tab has two associated groups:
• Activation
•Solver
Activation Group
The Activation group refers to the scope of the variable. A User
Variable is defined for an entire class of objects but can be
optionally enabled only in specific instances of these objects or
made to appear automatically in all instances. Specify the
activation by choosing from either the Automatic or User
Enabled radio button.
Automatic User Variables appear in all instances of the object
type for which it is defined within a simulation. Most objects
have a discrete type such as pumps or mixers. However, some
types can manifest themselves in different forms. For example,
streams can be either material or energy streams and share
their User Variables. That is, variables created in material
streams are also available to energy streams, and vice versa. If
you do not want a User Variable to be available universally
across an object type, you can specify it to be User Enabled
setting by selecting the User Enabled radio button.
